Eric J. Smalls Memorial Scholarship

The Eric J. Smalls Memorial Scholarship was established by United Elite Basketball, a nonprofit youth basketball organization in memory of Eric’s participation as a player on the 3rd grade traveling basketball team.  Eric Smalls was an energetic, vibrant young man with a great love for basketball.  He lost his life on June 5, 2015 due to injuries sustained in a tragic car accident along with two of his little friends.  


The scholarship is $1,000.00 to a deserving senior who plays and has a passion for basketball.

For the past three years, there have been well-known guest speakers from the community and awesome musical and dance performances. 


We are excited about our guest speaker for this year, and we hope you will attend.
